The resort is the 6th in the chain of Sensatori Resorts, the others being in Crete, Tenerife, Mexico, Turkey and Egypt. Places that I will have to Google, I must say I am honoured that they chose Jamaica as a location for their newest resort. I’m proud of my little island paradise. From the release:

Located in one of the Caribbean’s most sought after postcodes and set on the beautiful seven mile beach in Negril, the luxurious hotel offers swim-up rooms, fine dining and tranquil massage huts on the beach.

Sensatori Resort Jamaica, a property owned by Karisma Hotels & Resorts and operated for Thomson, remains true to its surroundings and retains its laid-back Caribbean feel, whilst providing contemporary accommodation. With four restaurants and a Gourmet Inclusive dining programme, it offers unlimited food and drink around the clock. Other highlights include swim-up rooms with over-the-water daybeds, a laid back reggae lounge with an impressive collection of rum, plus everything else Thomson customers have come to expect from these beautiful hotels, such as great children’s facilities, sports and activities.

As an addition to the opening celebrations marking the opening of this much anticipated resort, Thomson teamed up with renowned British fashion designer, Jonathan Saunders, to create a range of limited edition beach wear for men and women. In an interior design first for Saunders, the fashion designer has also designed, accessorised and named the bespoke Amber pool and beach area.

Lucky Thomson guests arriving at the resort from 8th June, 2014 can expect to receive an item from the collection as an exclusive gift from Thomson for a limited time. Customers can then head with their new beach bags and wear to the Amber area, exclusively designed and named by Jonathan Saunders. The area provides guests a harmonious environment to relax in and offers an ultra-exclusive feel, which features bold coloured cushions, Bali beds, drapes and umbrellas in Jonathan’s signature off-beat print and colour combinations. The striking beachwear and pool area designed by Saunders will add to the luxury experience for guests visiting the Sensatori Resort Jamaica.

A resort with amenities designed by a fashion designer. 5-star all right. The pictures offer up some of the luxury to treat yourself with on a fine vacation or staycation for us Jamaicans including the main pool styled by Jonathan Saunders:

I’ve added this one to my list of places that I need to staycation here in Jamaica, doesn’t it look fabulous? Who needs a plane ride, #ilivewhereyouvacay
